Quick question, since I've never had the privilege of wheeling with this group. Is this a kid friendly ride? I don't want to be "that guy" who is the only one that shows up with his kid. My boy bleeds Jeep and has been on trail rides before, but it's not a big deal if it's a preferred adults only ride (and I use the term adults loosely), I just want to make sure I know.

The only reason I am not bringing my son this time is that I am going to the suds n grub afterwards....and he just turned 7 so he costs me $5 at the Badlands. But I normally bring him along with me.

My little guy is too excited to not get up early. But we usually stop and get donuts, which he loves, so that is probably what persuades him that early, lol.

Got my new (to me) Rubi rails trimmed and installed yesterday. Sunday will be the bumper/winch.
What bumper did you end up with?

It's an Ace Engineering. I hope you don't want to start really early.
